At QIC, we find people are more engaged and productive when they are succeeding both inside and outside of work, and when their wellbeing is prioritised. QIC is committed to the health and wellbeing of our people so they feel supported to lead productive personal and professional lives, meeting their family and work priorities.
For every person at QIC, we know that family looks a little different. Family can mean parents, grandparents, children, foster children, relatives or kinship community – we don’t define it, our people do. In 2023, we were proud to introduce an enhanced family-inclusive approach which recognises all family types, while expanding our employee benefits.
In our view, this is what it means to be a Family Friendly Workplace.
In 2023, we expanded our family-inclusive workplace leave benefits, further acknowledging and supporting the diverse needs of our teams. We look forward to reporting each year on our progress and driving improvements in our practices.

At QIC, we aim to provide support that is tailored to the unique circumstances of our team members.
“Recognising that each person is different is at the heart of what it means to be a family friendly workplace. Everyone at QIC has different family lives, personal ambitions and career journeys. Through our DE&I, Health and Wellbeing Strategy we acknowledge and support this while striving for sustainable performance, productivity and employee wellbeing and the positive outcomes this has on clients, people and the community. As a certified Family Inclusive Workplace, we offer contemporary and inclusive benefits for leave, flexible work, education and support, and we will continue to evolve our employee offering as we stay abreast of the needs of our teams.”
